Saucy Shirred eggs
• 1 – 2 eggs per person
• 1 slice American cheese or other per person
• salt and pepper
• 1Tblsp sour cream per person
• milk

Night before:
Butter individual oven proof ramekins.
Put slice of cheese in bottom, break one or two eggs onto the cheese.
Salt and pepper eggs to taste.
Stir the sour cream and a bit of milk until it is the consistency of heavy cream (ie, it will pour). Salt and pepper eggs to taste, then pour sour cream mix over it. Cover and refrigerate.

Next morning:
Preheat oven to 400° Place ramekins into oven, bake about 12 minutes. This should give solid whites and runny egg yellows. Take out and let stand a minute or two, then serve.

Notes:
• You can do this entirely in one casserole dish, but it will take substantially longer to cook.
• Put the ramekins on a cookie sheet for ease of getting into and out of oven.
• Add chives, or dill, or a bit of chopped ham for a variation in taste
